THE OLDEST ESCHRICHTIID MYSTICETE AND A NEW MORPHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF ESCHRICHTIIDAE (GRAY WHALES)

THE OLDEST ESCHRICHTIID MYSTICETE AND A NEW MORPHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF ESCHRICHTIIDAE (GRAY WHALES)

A close inspection of the dentary of Eschrichtius robustus (Cetacea, Mysticeti, Eschrichtiidae) revealed a peculiar organization of the coronoid region. Similar morphologies have been observed in two specimens which are respectively from the Early Pliocene of Piedmont and the Late Miocene of Apulia,...
